Last week it was Melky Cabrera. Tuesday night it was Isaac Galloway‘s turn to rob Kris Bryant of a big hit to the opposite field. Bryant’s been in a bit of a funk so far this season as he has fallen out of his typical finely-tuned mechanics to lunge at pitches that he ends up swinging through. He’s working on a physical fix, but some of it might be mental.
Even as intimately familiar as baseball players are with failure, it can be a real bear to do everything right — or hit everything right — and still come up short.
